re: the expanse
@izaya ah, I haven't finished the first yet. Comparing the book to the show hasn't been as compelling as I thought it'd be.
What keeps it interesting for you?
@yogthos honestly, I did a bit of both when I bought my skillet 😆
do you folks generally know about Julia Ecklar?
She sang this song about quarks with some guy whose name I never learned is how I learned she, and this fictional folk music genre, exists
the expanse
@izaya is that in one of the books? if so, I'm not surprised it made it to the TV script: it's one of my favorite moments

@readsteven celery's good though. not so great raw unless you just want to give your jaw muscles a work-out, but for soups, stews, flavoring stuffing--it's a real hitter
You gotta love the OG open source guys
Just seems easier for new users if everything seems to happen seamlessly within their server, without any more logins required?
I actually would agree with your statement, replacing "server" with "client". I don't see any benefit in a server loading a lot of content from another one. On the other hand, I would be nice if frontends were able to completely load a profile from its own instance.Looks like a lot ofpeople are confused/annoyed by Mastodon and many other Fediverse platforms not backfilling old posts when an account is followed.
This complete lack of backfilling means that many new accounts or those with few followers may appear completely blank, even if they've posted lots of interesting stuff.
If you agree and think Mastodon should backfill at least some posts when people follow an account, please give this issue a thumbs up:

If you're not comfortable using github, let me know and I can try to post on your behalf.
@benjancewicz is there something to say about how different their visual language was back then compared to modern western art? I think modern works are much more naturalistic in how they lay out a scene and suggest relationships between figures.
